Family Tree, Lizzy’s Birthday & Me!

Published by Cameron under Family, General, History, Hobbies, Kids, Life

It’s been a few days since I’ve had a post here..  but then again, I had nothing to say…

But today, Colleen and I started researching our family trees.  Colleen did this a few years ago, for a school project, but she still had a few holes to try and fill in..  She did some searching on a couple sites, www.ancestry.ca and www.familysearch.org.  She instantly find connection upon connection.  

So I thought that I’d give it a try.

I didn’t have quite as much luck.  I made a quick phone call to my mother to get some basic details.  I was in luck, because my grandfather had started doing a family tree search..  Once she finds the book he made up, I’ll have some more details.  For now, she gave me a few names and a couple of birth dates to start with…  I plugged in the info I had, and didn’t find anything I hadn’t just been told..

So I tried my father’s side of the family..  I know very little about it..  I wasn’t able to get a hold of my father for details either..  What I do know, is that the MacDonald side of my family can be traced back to Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia…

Aside from that, I’m finding my new hobby to be satisfying..  I’ve had a few inquiries about people wanting me to make growth charts..  I’m still working out the details of a couple other things that I’d like to make..

Elisabeth turned 6 years old yesterday…  I can’t believe it!  Her birthday party at Omega Gym turned out well..  the kids all seemed to have fun.  Once I get the pics uploaded, I’ll add the link!
